Barneys New York, the luxury specialty retailer, announced that it will return to its downtown roots on 7th Avenue between 17 th Street and 16 th Street with a significant flagship slated to open within 2017. An original presence in the Chelsea neighborhood spanning 90 years, the new Barneys New York flagship will occupy a major portion of its former historic store, providing a unique shopping experience currently absent in the downtown market.

Back in July, Barneys announced that they were retiring the Co-op name. Co-op was known for its more casual mix of premium denim and contemporary brands for men and women. The Co-op concept was first introduced in 1986 as a lower-priced option for younger consumers. It has since existed as freestanding stores and on the seventh and eighth floors of Barneys New York's Madison Avenue flagship. 'Lower prices was the intention when the Co-op began 27 years ago,' Mark Lee, Barneys chief executive officer said. 'The Co-op offered the spirit of Barneys style at a lower price before contemporary and secondary collections existed. With everything we're doing, it's more about the edit now. It's about how we curate these small specialty stores.'
